" Great book for Martin luther king and black history month. Great illustrations. It is wordy for lower students. "

by Cheryl/Aradanryl | 6/18/2013

" Well-written and loving story of the events leading up to and including the non-violent March on Washington. I didn't know President Kennedy tried to get him to call it off. I also hadn't read how his parents taught the children never to be 'chesty', it explains that quiet grace. "

" This is a beautifully illustrated book that builds up the march on washington during the civil rights movement. The story depicts MLK's journey to his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. Great book to read aloud during civil rights unit when talking about MLK or the march or his speech. "

" I think I read this... But I don't quite remember it "

" March On is a narrative biography written by MLK Jr.'s sister. The narrative text will be a good addition for libraries seeking to beef up collection for the purposes of meeting the CCSS. This would make for a good read aloud at the elementary level. "

Kimberly | 10/7/2012

" An interesting perspective from Dr. King's sister. But from a Librarian's perspective I would read this to older children. There are many words and few pictures. "

Janet | 7/2/2012

" Excellent book! This was a focus book for the MLK assembly at my school. There's a DVD of the book, too that totally enhances the book! "

Lauren Brown | 5/25/2012

" March On is a narrative biography written by MLK Jr.'s sister. The narrative text will be a good addition for libraries seeking to beef up collection for the purposes of meeting the CCSS. This would make for a good read aloud at the elementary level. "

" This story is written from the point of view of MLK's older sister as she watched her brother grow up and eventually become a historical figure. This story tells about how he came to write his famous "I have a dream" speech. It is a great story about equality. "
